This set of pics was in the Telegraph today - I presume from the same collection.

Makes you think, but I'm not sure what to think

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Interesting set of photos and a good indication of the mindset of the prison guards

It shows the banality of evil in it's truest sense - take away the uniforms and they could be bank managers on a jolly.

I know that he worked as a chicken farmer but didn't he work as an insurance saleman as well? The only one who had a really weird face, no matter the context, was Hess.
